Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.

have a fab weekend, Joanne!
Josep, they are pretty unusual and the gardens have many species. I just found a new one that I'll be posting later on.
Ann, thanks, they are fascinating to see. I've see some more different ones out there as well.
Andrea, I just came across the red species the other day and took some shots. It's gorgeous so I'll be posting those at a later date. I think my Oly was defective. It began getting very hot to the touch and after about four months just stopped working. I loved it and it took great pics but I don't know what happened. My new GE so far is working fine. It took these pics.
Icy, thanks, there are some very unusual ones at the gardens.
Diane, :D thank you very much. Have a great weekend
You always have so special flower to share, nice work!
maiaT, Thank you, I'm lucky that our Botanical Gardens has such a variety.
That plant reminds me of something that is making me hyper at the minute :-)
Very striking plant portrait.
